Riot police pass next to a burning garbage bin during a demonstration in Athens, on Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2010. Youths hurled rocks, flares and smashed-up paving stones at police outside the U.S. Embassy in Athens, during a mass rally to mark the anniversary of a 1973 anti-dictatorship uprising. Riot police used tear gas and stun grenades, during the brief but violent confrontation with dozens of youths and chased groups that dispersed down streets near the embassy building. At least 40 people were detained by police, authorities said, while one protester was being treated in hospital for burns. More than 6,000 officers were on duty to police the annual march, which was generally peaceful. It was attended by more than 20,000 people. (AP Photo/Thanassis Stavrakis)
